Hit-Girl

Hit-Girl is Mindy McCready, a preteen girl trained since childhood by her father Big Daddy to be a ruthless, highly skilled vigilante. Operating in a gritty, street-level New York, she fights alongside amateur hero Kick-Ass with lethal efficiency far beyond her age.

Few Modern Age debuts hit with the sheer audacity of Hit-Girl, who burst onto the scene in 2010 as one of comics' most startling and unforgettable new presences. Published by Marvel and appearing across Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2, and her own spotlight series Kick-Ass 2 Prelude: Hit-Girl, she carved out a distinct identity in a gritty, street-level corner of the Marvel universe. She shares her wild, ultraviolent adventures with the likes of Dave Lizewski and Kick-Ass himself, and her compact but punchy catalog run makes every one of her appearances count. If you're drawn to bold, boundary-pushing Modern Age storytelling, Hit-Girl is absolutely worth tracking down.
